waa!
3 more days to go and I've slipped into the 'Oh my God, it's too soon, I don't want to go, I want to stay here and be safe and watch bad tv all day long'-phase I always have prior to going on vacation. Last week, I couldn't wait to go but right now I wish it were a week or so away. Gah! It'll all be fine once the plane lands and we're safe in our hotel but right now, too much freaking out over
- the plane seats! I'm not sitting at the aisle, what if I need to pee really bad and the person next to me on the aisle is asleep? I always have to pee. Always. One gulp, pee.
- the flight! It's very long, you know.
- the suitcases! What if they don't fit in our car?
- the suitcases! What if they turn out to fit BUT they're too heavy.
- the suitcases! What if they get lost?
- the suitcases! What if I forget to pack something really important?
Yeah, that's about all I can think of right now.
I printed out instructions I found on the Internet on how to drive an automatic. I wonder why we don't have them here. The left foot can be regarded as completely useless, it can just chill. Lucky American left feet. Why are we still doing all the work with shifting gears and stuff? Are they trying to make us think more?
Also, 'They' say that the internet can't be trusted. Should I trust those instructions? Maybe they're giving out false information that will lead me to actually putting the car in reverse when it's supposed to go forward, and open the hood when it's supposed to be the trunk. Hey, I got the American slang ready. Trunk instead of carboot. Hm.
Because it cannot be said enough, terrorists are cowards, fucking nutjobs who need to find a hobby like making embroiderments of little fluffy bunnies on pink pillows. But since they're probably too stupid to figure out how to put the thread into the needle, let's just go to a zoo, visit the lions and dig a really narrow vertical hole in the ground and stuff a terrorist in there so they can't move. The lions can gnaw, starting with the top of their heads.
I want to go back to London now even more than before. It's been too long. Plus, I had promised myself to go and see Ewan in Guys & Dolls there.

Corrie, I can't wait to hear about your American adventures. I thought you didn't even drive, and you're going to drive all over America! Well, at least the left coast part.
I really want to see Ewan in Guys & Dolls, too. I love that musical, I love London, I love Ewan. It's a win/win/win. I may seriously have to figure out a way to work that. hmmmm...

I love driving a stick shift, and think automatics are boring. ;)
I hope you're having a fabulous time (but I wish you could come see meeeeee!) but I also hope you're home soon because I miss your veerd rambly ferner posts. And there's a music show you need to be following (though you can follow it better in the States than from home, hmm).
